Earlier, they were angry, wishing they could cut Remus into a thousand pieces.But now, they only wanted to make use of him. If he could stay by their side, they would have another dog that could bite!"This..."Remus pretended to hesitate but he was sneering inside. Back outside Shenington, they all called him a stray dog without support, and now they were fighting to take him as their disciple.He wondered what they would think if they knew the truth.After thinking for a moment, he said, "Fellow Grandmasters and the Young Saint Master are indeed exceptionally wise. I didn't expect you to see through it. The truth is, my purpose today wasn't to watch the competition but to join a sacred land!"Everything I did just now was merely to demonstrate my value and my desire to join a sacred land.""Really?" Grandmaster Carlex was excited."Your value is already recognized by me. Join Monington!" Grandmaster Aurelius immediately said."Let me tell you, I saw through your strength a

"Um?"Their intense reaction startled Remus.No?Could it be that they were worried that he would defeat their core disciples in the competition after witnessing his strength? They wouldn't let him participate because they were afraid of losing face.But that didn't seem right. Their expressions earlier and Garfield's words clearly indicated they weren't worried about core disciples failing. In their minds, he was still below the core disciples. So why couldn't he participate?Grandmaster Carlex was the first to speak, "The Grand Competition is a contest among the disciples of the sacred lands. You are not yet a disciple of any sacred land so you can't participate. Quickly find a large rock and sit down to watch. Do not get involved anymore."Grandmaster Burke also spoke, "Sparring with ordinary disciples is one thing, but core disciples are not something you can handle. If they injure you, it wouldn't be good. Just go watch from aside."Compared to the others, his tone was much

Suddenly, Garfield realized something.They had been calling Remus a stray practitioner, this guy, bandit, shameless person, but no one had actually asked his name.Everyone's eyes turned toward him and waited for Remus' answer. Once he said his name, they would carefully recall where they might have seen him before!Feeling the intense gazes around him, Remus thought of making up a name. But then an idea came to his mind.Why not...He loudly declared, "I am known as Remus Clayton!"What?Upon hearing this name, the crowd immediately discussed it."Remus Clayton? How can he be called Remus Clayton? If I remember correctly, Monington's disciple who survived 999 Tribulation Thunder has the same name!""By the way… The scoundrel hiding in the haze in Shenington is also named Remus Clayton!""Could it be a coincidence?"The disciples started whispering among themselves.The Masters and Grandmasters were even more reactive."This..." The people of Monington, including Grandmas

Remus... really wanted to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy!Being trapped by it was incredibly uncomfortable, and since he had just released a lot of energy, this would be a perfect chance to replenish it.But he couldn't. Absorbing spiritual energy in front of so many people would undoubtedly lead to his death. Even if they didn't attack him directly, their collective spiritual energy would be enough to make him explode.Without responding, he quickly released his own spiritual energy.He shook off the spiritual energy trapping him.Almost simultaneously, Evan snorted coldly, "You're so stubborn. Condense!"The water vapor in the air instantly froze, not falling but suspended in the middle of the air, turning the space into a white, frosty world.Especially around Remus, who was instantly encased in ice, frozen in place."Good!" The disciples of Monington couldn't help but stand up, applauding, "Let's see how arrogant you are now. Now you have a taste of the power of

Soon, Garfield announced to continue the Grand Competition.The rules were simple. Starting with Ryunington, followed by Monington, Kenington, and Shenington, each land would send one person to the island. They could choose to challenge any participating disciple from the other three lands. The winner would advance, and the loser would be eliminated.Notably, the competition between Evan and Remus did not count as a loss for Evan, so he still had the chance to challenge. Otherwise, there would be one person short among the twelve disciples from the four sacred lands."I am Dain Durex, a disciple from the Ryunington!"A disciple from Ryunington stepped onto the island and loudly declared, "I challenge the Young Saint Master of Shenington, Richardo!"Hearing this, Remus was taken aback. Did he say he wanted to challenge Richardo?He had no idea that Richardo could also participate in the competition.He had thought Richardo was just leading the team here!As Remus glanced aroun
